CareConnect has received a $5,000 grant from the Adolph Coors Foundation to provide volunteer-powered direct services to seniors and adults with disabilities throughout Boulder County.

These services include weekly grocery shopping and delivery, minor home repairs, and volunteer-escorted rides to medical appointments.

“The current downturn in the economy has created an even greater demand for CareConnect services,” said Maureen Ewing, Executive Director of CareConnect. “This grant allows CareConnect to continue to build the capacity to meet the independence needs of the rapidly growing Boulder County senior population.”

The Adolph Coors Foundation is a private family foundation established in 1975. It has awarded almost 4,000 grants totaling over $154 million to community agencies throughout Colorado.
